ENGLISH HORN<br />
FINGERING CHART<br />
The following is a basic fingering chart that is used for<br />
tuning <strong>Fox</strong> and Renard oboes. The <strong>English</strong> horn has<br />
approximately a 2 1 ⁄2 octave range and very few alternate<br />
fingerings. The one exception is “Forked F”. Many students<br />
brought up in a band program acquire the habit of<br />
using only the “Forked F” fingering. “Forked F” is an<br />
alternate fingering to be used when necessary: when “F”<br />
occurs before or after E♭, D, C , low C, low B or B♭. The<br />
basic fingering for “F” (or the left “F” key on those instruments<br />
that have it) produces better intonation and noticeably<br />
better tone quality.<br />
